Made Out Of Sound
*2024 repress! LP version* "Sadly, many will hear Chris Corsano & Bill Orcutt's latest LP, Made Out of Sound, as 'not-jazz,' though it would be more aptly described as 'not-not-jazz.' In a better world, it would warrant above-the-fold reviews in Downbeat, or an appearance on David Sanborn's late-night show (if someone would only give it back to him). More likely, we can hope for a haiku review on Byron Coley's Twitter timeline to sufficiently connect the various improvised terrains trodden by th…

Days
What if beating a drum would raise a thunderstorm, as if a sound could alter the very fabric of reality? In their latest album Days, the experimental electro-acoustic duo Kashaiof expand their sonic explorations, integrating extended techniques of modular synthesis, ultrasonic feedback, field recordings, and acoustic instrumentation.
In contrast to their previous releases Home (Chondritic Sound, LA, 2020) and MA (Under My Feet, London, 2022), where the voice was submerged in electrical responses…

Polytempo Music
Other Minds is pleased to present Polytempo Music, a new recording by American composer Brian Baumbusch with the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players. Polytempo Music draws influence from Indonesian gamelan music and minimalism, with their interlocking rhythms, stable harmonies, and kaleidoscopic instrumental colors. Conceptually, it also owes a debt to Conlon Nancarrow's rhythmic experiments. Building on those foundations, Baumbusch invites us to explore an advanced heterophony—multiple ins…
A Thousand Strings
Continuing his fruitful relationship with Discrepant after the third volume of his ongoing Organic Music Tape Series on Sucata Tapes, Tiago Sousa returns with two longform pieces for organ with 'A Thousand Strings'. A self-explanatory title in itself, 'A Thousand Strings' drifts fluidly into a celestial realm of cascading melodies and cycling patterns that never feel forced or strict throughout its two hypnotic tracks.

*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 reissue* Legendary Italian dark sympho band Semiramis disappeared from the scene in 1973, leaving only one album.
